People are showing up in gym shorts and t-shirts etc to these events. People used to dress up for occasions like this.

Serious answer? We were a better society when we shamed people for acting like uncultured idiots. Going out in public dressed like shite let everyone know you were trash. Now, trash is accepted and that’s the problem.

High School graduation is a joke in itself, might as well dress appropriately.

I feel like the best you have to wear should be kept only for church atire. Anything you wear greater than that is giving less to the Lord. So me showing up in my normal everyday outfits isnt a show of disrispect. Instead, more of a symbol of how much I respect Sundays and holy places! I wish they would teach more of that in schools nowadays!

I wore a suit with his school tie.

Yes it is. High school is the first thing of real significance many of these young adults have ever accomplished.
If you wear a coat and tie to church, drop the tie for graduation.
Showing up in jeans and polo is simply unacceptable for an occasion as momentous as HS graduation should be.

I heard the Dutchtown graduation was a complete shitshow.
Half working PA system.
Kids doing backflips and "jigg" dancing.
Parents making noise with airhorns, pots & pans, cow bells, etc.
im so ready to jigg across that stage may 16th?? #classof2025 #graduate #graduation #graduation2025 #fyp #viral #viralvideo #louisiana
For a select few, HS graduations have turned into this -

Thank you for everyone putting on graduation, but we could not hear in the stands on left at all, people standing all in front of you no crowd control, the bull horns are just out of control could not hear kids names being called....kids getting out of their seats has never happened in past...
This is my 6th griffin to graduate and we have always been allowed on field to take pics...
Very disappointed in the ceremony !!

I am annoyed the rules that were posted over and over and over were not enforced…clear bags, no airhorns, no balloons, no flowers etc. Also heard from a graduate there was a graduate on the field smoking a blunt during the graduation. I did not see it, so I am not sure if that is 100% true.

I went to one back in 2018 where an entire family behind me brought in 2 buckets of Church's chicken and biscuits and proceeded to yell and stomp around everytime a cousin or someone they knew was called up.

Some people do.
When my kid thinks back to his graduation from high school and beyond he will remember his dad in a coat and tie because I was there to honor him on his day. I don’t care if everyone else wears shorts and flip flops.

There is a huge gap in dressing casual and dressing trashy.
A major reason why high school graduations are less formal these days is they're a much lesser event than in the past, as they mean a lot less now.

And that’s the problem. This is supposed to be the seminal moment that every teenager grows up and is now an adult. We have eliminated all traditional rites of passage in society, and because of that, we are raising multiple generations of perpetual children that never grow up and never mature.

Naw.
It may have been in the past, but it's just not significant anymore. It's a baseline, not something to celebrate, for a very large population of the country.
And this isn't new. I had this same discussion after my more rural/uneducated family REALLY valued the high school graduation moment, and I had to explain if I didn't graduate from high school I'd be one of the biggest failures in human history.
*ETA: that was almost 25 years ago. Not 2 years ago.

It can be both a bare minimum expectation and something worth celebrating.
Most HS graduates are 18, meaning they are now adults. It’s supposed to be the event that marks kids becoming adults.
